After a flash of March, Jiangnan is officially in summer. The weather is getting hotter, and the spring shirt on my body has been changed to a lighter summer dress.

Mu Qingling's March filial piety has passed, and these days are going to Yunwai Temple to incense. Yu Wenyuan has been busy with the affairs of his subordinates these days, and he really can't spare time to accompany Mu Qingling out, it just so happened that Xiao Lanyu was so idle that he volunteered to accompany Mu Qingling out, although he should not appear by Mu Qingling's side openly, but he should follow to take care of him.

It is not easy for an eldest lady like Mu Qingling to go out, Yunwai Temple is far away, and the stable began to prepare the carriage and horse that Mu Qingling wanted to use two days earlier, this is just a cart for transporting the sundries box cage, and the carriage that Mu Qingling is riding in is prepared by another special person. Waiting for the horseman, the chariot man, and the family in charge of the guard, the rough envoys and servants are all ordered, and the housekeeper of the inner government will also order the little maids and eight mothers-in-law who sweep the rough envoys, the four second-class maids who specialize in Mu Qingling's clothes and jewelry, and the two cooks who are in charge of the diet, needless to say, the cloud bridge around Mu Qingling must be followed, and there are also four first-class maids who will also accompany them, responsible for Mu Qingling's personal affairs.

By the time Mu Qingling packed up that day and boarded the car to go out, there was already a long queue outside the door of Mufu. In the eyes of a family like the Mu family, this is just a light car, but in the eyes of the ordinary people, it is already a huge momentum.

Compared with Mu Qingling, Xiao Lanhuan, the person who took the opportunity to go out to let off steam, was much more casual, his identity was sensitive, and he had never openly declared that he was borrowing Mu Mansion, and even Zhou Qingnian only left after he finished offering incense to Mu Jiangxuan. So now it can't appear in Mu Qingling's chariot and horse team in a grand manner.

Xiao Lanwei took Chang Lin to ride a horse first, because there was no other drag, and the two of them arrived at Yunwai Temple in just an hour. The old host had already received the news from Mufu, and the wings of the Zen courtyard were prepared early in the morning, Xiao Lanwei Xu had been detained in Mufu for a long time, and when he arrived at Yunwai Temple, he didn't say that he would rest first, but directly found the old host and begged for tea.

On the Tao of Zen is a literati and ink writers often do things, Yunwai Temple is located in Hangzhou, there are often famous people and Confucians after a small stay, perennial in Yunwai Temple among the laymen, there are many quite famous. The old host often chats and debates with these people, and his knowledge and knowledge should not be underestimated. Xiao Lanwei chatted happily with the old host, but he didn't know that his every move had already fallen into the eyes of people with a heart.

The first emperor was deeply involved in party strife during his lifetime, and after he ascended the throne, he washed the court in blood, and even his brother did not let go. At that time, the thunderous actions of the first emperor shocked many people, and the blue bricks of the execution ground in Beijing were stained red with blood, and they could not be washed off. However, because there were too many people who fell, the people in the court were panicked at that time, and it was inevitable that some of these people would slip through the net.

Among the princes and nobles who were disposed of by the first emperor, the first to bear the brunt was the former Yu king Xiao Zhaowen, Xiao Zhaowen and the first emperor won the heir to the end, both of them were eager to chew each other raw and eat each other, and finally the first emperor won, Xiao Zhaolie was given poisoned wine, and all the women of the Yu Wangfu were used as official slaves, and all the men were assigned to the frontier.

Among the men in King Yu's mansion, King Yu's young son was rescued by a loyal servant stealing beams and changing pillars, an old man and a small one have been displaced for decades, Queen Yu's descendants have always remembered that he is a descendant of the royal family, he should have been rich and rich, thanks to the first emperor, now he can only mix with the homeless beggars, the throne in the nine-fold palace should have belonged to him, let him be willing!

However, he is a fugitive, and if he is discovered, he will immediately die without a place to be buried, so the two have been incognito for many years and have spent their days in hardship.

It was also the fate of this little prince who should not have died, and he accidentally stumbled into the territory of the Holy Puritanism. The Holy Puritanism is a cult that has been severely cracked down on by the imperial court, and this sect has been inherited for a long time, and the unhealthy tendencies of looting the people's fat, occupying land for the king, and performing live sacrifices in its heyday have now been suppressed by the imperial court for many years and turned into underground activities.

The little prince was already full of resentment, and after entering the Holy Puritanism, it was like a long drought and a rainstorm, and all unwillingness and ambition had the soil for fermentation and growth. The Holy Puritanism wanted to reproduce the grand occasion of calling for wind and rain and the huge number of believers, and the little prince wanted to overthrow the dynasty and return to the capital.

The Holy Puritans have many eyes and ears, and the land of the two rivers is rich, and it is also the place where they vigorously develop their power, and many remote mountain villages have become their missionary places, but the local government is tough, and the Holy Puritans do not dare to act in a high-profile manner. Xiao Lanwei as the youngest son of the Queen Mother, when the Chaopin Prince of the Dynasty, his whereabouts have been closely watched by the Holy Puritans, the Holy Puritans want to seize Xiao Lanwei to take the opportunity to start an incident, and now Xiao Lanwei has arrived in Hangzhou, and he has also gone to Yunwai Temple to stay overnight, which is a golden opportunity for the Holy Puritans.

It was nearly noon, Mu Qingling's carriage and horse arrived at the gate of Yunwai Temple, Mu Qingling got off the car with a hat and was led to the Zen monastery by Xiao Shami. Mu Fu's family also had a carriage and horse utensils brought into the temple from the side door, Mu Qingling went to the Zen courtyard to rest for a while, and then beckoned the maids to change their clothes, because it was in the temple, she also had filial piety on her body, so Mu Qingling had no ornaments around her body, and her hair was tied up with a ribbon embroidered with the same color lotus pattern on her head, and half of the fat powder on her face was not used, but it was more pure.

Mu Qingling entered the main hall, finished the incense, and presided over the three blows for her on the side. The chime is faint, swirling with sandalwood. Mu Qingling clasped her palms together and muttered in a low voice: "The Buddha is above, the believer Mu Shi pleases, I wish my father a safe and smooth life in the next life; The second wish is that my grandmother will be healthy in this life, and stay away from the villain, and the third wish that the traitor will be ambushed and punished, and I will pay for my blood hatred......"

When the words fell, Mu Qingling leaned over and bowed three times before opening his eyes and looking ahead. The prayer flags are heavy, the Buddha on the lotus seat is merciful, Mu Qingling listened to the chanting sound from outside the hall, and her heart was calm and peaceful. The host put down the small mallet in his hand, walked to Mu Qingling's side and said, "Lord Mu Shi is sincere, my Buddha will definitely be able to hear your heart." ”

"I hope so......" Mu Qingling looked up at the solemn Buddha statue and said lightly.

The night came as scheduled, and the Zen monastery where the Mu family lived began the final collection step by step. Mu Qingling was still kneeling in front of the Buddha case in the Zen Temple, leaving only the cloud bridge by her side to serve.

The sky is getting darker, the bright moon hanging high in the sky is gradually hidden by the clouds, the moonlight of the clear spirit is dimmed, and there are only a few Zen temples in the entire Yunwai Temple that are still flashing with lights. The black shadow running quickly through the mountains and forests interrupted the undulating frog chirping, and the outer wall of Yunwai Temple was surrounded by a group of black-scarfed and masked people, and the leader jumped on the wall, looked at it vigilantly, and waved his men to follow.

This group of men in black was well-trained, and they jumped over the high wall and landed silently. The long knife in his hand was dignified, and one by one he walked towards the Zen courtyard where the guests were staying.

Because Miss Mu stayed overnight, Mu Qingling's Zen Monastery was guarded by the Mu Mansion's family, and many warrior monks patrolled back. The man in black found this side and saw that this Zen temple was guarded by everyone, thinking that this was the place where Xiao Lanwei settled.

The black-clothed man hiding in the shadow of the tree kept looking at the Zen courtyard, the clouds surging in the sky, and the moonlight briefly illuminated the earth and quickly faded. After the Jade Rabbit was completely hidden in the thick clouds, the black-clothed man hidden in the shadows moved.

The Mufu family who was attacked immediately sounded the gong, and the high and piercing gong sound pierced the quiet night of Yunwai Temple. The patrolling warrior monks quickly arrived, and the sound of fighting quickly spread throughout the entire Yunwai Temple.

"What's going on!" Yunqiao was startled when he heard the sound, opened the door and went out to look, and there were still blood stains on the body of the family who came to report the news, and hurriedly said: "There are gangsters who have broken into the temple, please hide quickly!" The mothers-in-law and maids in the Zen courtyard quickly gathered, and they all hid in Mu Qingling's room, listening to the sounds of fighting and screams from time to time outside the courtyard, and their faces turned pale.

"Don't be afraid, there is a family member and the master in the temple, it will be fine." Mu Qingling saw a few little maids crying in fright, and hurriedly comforted them calmly. But only Yunqiao knew that Mu Qingling was holding her hand, which was as cold as ice.

The movement on Mu Qingling's side spread to Xiao Lanling's side, Xiao Lanling's face changed, and he was about to go to Mu Qingling, but he was stopped by Chang Lin when he was about to go out, Chang Lin blocked the door, and said: "Lord Wang, the sword has no eyes, you can't go over." ”

Xiao Lanhuan glanced at Chang Lin and said, "Don't you want to stop me, you can't stop me." Come with me, or if I put you down on my own, you choose. ”

Chang Lin saw that Xiao Lanhuan's eyes were cold, and his face was unusually serious, knowing that he couldn't stop Xiao Lanhuan today, he gritted his teeth, got out of the way, and followed Xiao Lanhuan to Mu Qingling's Zen Monastery with a few leaps. When Xiao Lan arrived, the gate of the Zen Monastery was almost unguardable. Chang Lin jumped off the wall and quickly joined the battle, and the long knife passed everywhere, and several black-clothed people were in different places.

Xiao Lanwei entered the Zen courtyard and rushed directly to the door of Mu Qingling's house, and when she pushed the door, several maids and women in the room screamed in fright, and when she saw the people standing at the door, Mu Qingling exclaimed in surprise: "Senior brother!" ”

Although Mu Qingling was reborn once, he was also a person who had walked through the ghost gate, but he had never seen this scene of swords and swords tonight, although his face collapsed, but he was already very worried in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, there's a senior brother here." Xiao Lanwei smiled comfortingly at Mu Qingling, then turned her head and said to the maid in the house: "Don't get together, go back to the house, lock the door, find a hidden place to hide, no one told you not to come out!" Just go! ”

The maid in the house quickly ran out, Xiao Lanwei couldn't figure out why the people outside came, so she could only let people disperse, and she could keep one by one, so that people would not be served in one pot. Leaving Mu Qingling and Yunqiao, Xiao Lanhuan and the two of them just walked out of the door, when they saw several black-clothed people jumping down from the wall, looking at them with a knife full of malice.

Xiao Lanwei stood in front of Mu Qingling, grabbed a man in black who pounced sideways, twisted his hand holding the knife, and cut his throat. There was still hot blood splashing, Xiao Lanhuan took the long knife he snatched over, and protected Mu Qingling behind him, and the whole person was like a reincarnated Shura, which made people shudder.

Mu Qingling pulled the cloud bridge and gradually retreated, and Xiao Lanwei was an enemy, and the knife was fatal. When the man in black saw Xiao Lanwei protecting the two women behind him everywhere, he was about to come forward to arrest him, but Mu Qingling pushed the cloud bridge away, and was grabbed by the man in black by his sleeve. However, before the man in black could threaten Xiao Lanling, the man in black felt a chill in his heart, looked down, and saw that a dagger was completely submerged in his chest, and the man in black looked at Mu Qingling in disbelief, and fell to the ground in Mu Qingling's frightened eyes.

This dagger was hidden by Mu Qingling in the room just now, originally planned for the worst, the origin of this group of black-clothed people is unknown, if it really falls into the hands of this group of people and is humiliated, it is better to wipe the neck with a knife. I didn't expect this dagger to be used on myself.

Mu Qingling still had the blood of the man in black standing in her hand, and her whole person trembled slightly, dazed and at a loss. Suddenly, a force came to her back, Mu Qingling screamed, and found that the arms she fell into had a familiar fragrance, and then she heard Xiao Lanhuan's soothing voice in her ears: "I didn't expect the little junior sister to not let the little sister shave her eyebrows, she did a good job, so everyone who robbed the house was punished, and I will ask the little junior sister for credit when I turn around!" ”

Mu Qingling was protected by Xiao Lanling in her arms, her beating heart gradually settled down, and the number of black-clothed people who jumped into the Zen Monastery increased, and it was not difficult to find that they cared more about Xiao Lanling than Mu Qingling. The gate of the Zen courtyard was kicked open, Chang Lin came in with a few warrior monks, and when he saw Xiao Lanhuan with Mu Qingling, Chang Lin shouted: "Son, go away!" ”

Xiao Lanyu forced back the two black-clothed men who approached him with a knife, and suddenly said to Mu Qingling in his arms: "Senior sister, close your eyes." Mu Qingling subconsciously did so, only to feel that the hand around her waist was tight, and the whole person was carried by Xiao Lanwei and jumped up.

There was a sound of wind in her ears, Mu Qingling felt that she was being carried by Xiao Lanhuan and quickly moved on the roof, she didn't open her eyes, the hand on Xiao Lanhuan's shoulder tightened, her head tilted, and she buried her whole person in Xiao Lanhuan's arms.
